Faculty of Psychology

Welcome to the Faculty of Psychology

Janik Trauner

Research and teaching at the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Vienna are dedicated to human experience and behaviour.

Across our four departments, we examine various dimensions such as cognition and emotion, health, work and the economy, as well as development and education. A particular focus of our research is on the consequences of social and technological changes for our experience and behaviour, and on how we cope with these developments.

Through our research findings, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of psychological phenomena and processes, as well as their societal implications.

We provide our students in our bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes with comprehensive psychological knowledge across a wide range of thematic areas and prepare them for applying this knowledge in various professional contexts.
